AVON — You cannot tell one test driver from other when they’re hard at work performing high altitude testing on prototype Ford GT supercars.

That’s basically how the Ford GT Three managed to skate on charges of speeding and reckless driving.

A Colorado State Patrol trooper clocked two of the Ford GT Three at 101 mph, headed east on Interstate 70 at the east end of Glenwood Canyon. The third was surrounded by fellow motorists traveling at the 50 mph speed limit.

Prosecutors found themselves in a conundrum over proving which two of the Ford GT Three were traveling at triple-figure speeds,...

In order to further boost their 2016 LA Auto Show exhibit, Ford brought out this year's Le Mans GTE-Pro Class-winning car.

As you can see, the all-new GT is still wearing its battle scars, which it picked up during a battle that saw it edge out a Ferrari 488, taking the lead in the 20th hour of the race.

The car raced under the Chip Ganassi umbrella, which is the only team owner in history to have won the Indy 500, Daytona 500, Brickyard 400, Rolex 24 at Daytona, 12 Hours of Sebring and more recently the Le Mans 24 Hours.

Powering the GT race car is a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine that made its...

Ford is now selling diecast reproductions of the incredible 2017 Ford GT supercar. Available in blue or silver, it may be the only Ford GT you can ever afford.
Only a few hundred people will be able to buy the 2017 Ford GT Supercar. The company is only producing about 250 of the $450,000 cars a year.
Now, there is word that Ford is producing 1:18 diecast versions of the 2017 Ford GT, a fraction of the car, at a fraction of the price.
The model features a metal body with plastic parts. It includes opening door, hood and trunk, fully functional steering, four wheel suspension, and detailed chassis...

Remember back in September when cops in Avon, Colorado busted two Ford GT prototypes for doing 101 mph in a 50 mph zone? Well, we just got word that all the charges against those drivers have been dropped, and everyone is pals again. The reason why? “New facts came to light.”

We found this out via Ford spokesman Mike Levine on Twitter:

As you can imagine, we're pretty excited to drive the upcoming Ford GT. We were huge fans of the first-generation GT when it came out back in 2005, and we'll always be fans of the original GT40. And forget the specs. Who wouldn't want to get behind the wheel of a car that looks like that?

But assuming you have the means, make it through the application process, and are approved to own a new GT, how will it compare to the competition?

First of all, anyone trying to compare the GT to the Shelby GT350R will be barking up the wrong tree. Yes, you'll be paying about $350,000 extra to only gain another...

If you're going to speed down the road, we don't believe the best vehicle for the task is an eye-catching prototype of an upcoming American supercar.

Still, that didn't stop a trio of Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] engineers from pushing the throttle down a bit when traipsing through the Colorado mountains during testing for the upcoming GT supercar back in September. Two of three were said to have been clocked driving 101 mph in a 50 zone, while one wasn't speeding.

Now though, as Vail Daily reports, it seems the accrued charges are being dropped.

Because the three vehicles are the same make, model...
